*Primarily issued by U.S. government sponsored enterprises. The contractual maturities of debt securities at October 31, 2015 in millions of dollars follow:
|  | Amortized |  | Fair |
|  | Cost |  | Value |
Due in one year or less |  | $ | 51 |  | $ | 50 |
Due after one through five years |  |  | 88 |  |  | 91 |

Debt securities |  | $ | 386 |  | $ | 394 |
Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because some securities may be called or prepaid. Because of the potential for prepayment on mortgage-backed securities, they are not categorized by contractual maturity. Proceeds from the sales of available-for-sale securities were $120 million in 2015, $6 million in 2014 and $7 million in 2013. Realized gains, realized losses, the increase (decrease) in net unrealized gains or losses and unrealized losses that have been continuous for over twelve months were not significant in 2015, 2014 and 2013. Unrealized losses at October 31, 2015 and 2014 were primarily the result of an increase in interest rates and were not recognized in income due to the ability and intent to hold to maturity. There were no significant impairment write-downs in the periods reported.
